***In
most

A
firm
has
the
capacity
to
produce
3,100
units
per
week.
At
80%
capacity,
the
average
total
cost
per
unit
is
$12.50
and
the
average
variable
cost
per
unit
is
$7.50.

driver
indicates

might
use
this
method
to

behavior
without

A
regression
of

selling
expenses
against
number
of
units
sold
yields
an
intercept
of

need
to
update
it
for
future
changes;

Have
all

it

linear

are

All
of

true
about

little
judgement
to
determine

behavior
All
of
the

are
true
about

are
usually
good

An
organization's
accountant
is
estimating
next
period's
total
overhead
costs.
She
performed
two
regression
analyses,
one
based
on
direct
labor
hours
and
the
other
based
upon
machine
hours.
The
results
were:
Total

=
$150,000
